a brief history of my morning (or, protein wisdom embraces existentialism)

“What do you mean ‘we’re out of Rice Chex?’ How can we be out of goddamned Rice Chex?”

update:  “You know what?  No big deal.  Just toast me up a Pop Tart, instead.”

    toast me up a Pop Tart

    Is this some wry way of asking someone for a Brittney Spears CD?

    Is this some wry way of asking someone for a box of Count C(h)ockula?

    ”…and make it snappy!”

  4. TODD says:

    What ever happened to the morning piece of PIE?

  5. twolaneflash says:

    I popped a tart once.  Man, was she toasted.  Otherwise, it would have been Rice Chex for breakfast, again.  Some days you get the elevator…

  6. twolaneflash says:

    And peel me a grape, Beulah!

  7. Janet says:

    I’d be interested in knowing who played which role in this scene. As the “house-husband” its YOUR responsibility to see that the shelves are full!

  8. Rob B. says:

    Anyone who complains about Pop tarts needs to eat a big bowl of malt-o-meal. Then come back and tell me how bad they are.

  9. Jeff Goldstein says:

    I was speaking to my imaginary friend “Camus.”

  10. TODD says:

    Peanut Butter Malto-Meal at that…

  11. Dan Collins says:

    We had a campus bus system known as “Cambus.” Freshman came to the bookstore looking for his copy of The Strangler by an author of that name.

  12. twolaneflash says:

    House husband does not mean shopping queen.  There are some divisions of labor that are based on hundreds of thousands of years of genetic differentiation:  Hunter vs Gatherer.  Meat vs Grains.  Now, wench, about the shopping?

    Al? That rat? He’s such a peste, huh?

    SB: march

    madness

  14. Tai Chi Wawa says:

    We ran out of Rice Chex today.  Or was it yesterday?  Who cares?

    –Camus

  15. Fergitit Priscilla.

    Uh, darlin,’ could ya, uh huh, make the King a fried-egg sammich? Yeah.

  16. Pixie Pug says:

    Condileeza Rice Chex?

    Donna Rice Chex?

  17. Jauhara says:

    Pixie Pug, did you mean Rice Chicks?

    Word of advice.  Don’t even get out of bed until you’ve done your daily wake and bake.  That way you’ll go straight for the Pop-Tarts.

  19. Johnny Catbird says:

    Froot Loops or Apple Jacks.

    Topped with Bailey’s.

  20. JD says:

    Apparently the Pop Tarts have distracted you from the fucking ‘Dillo, who has not made an appearance in quite some time.

    TW : Wife.  Tell the wife that you do not have time at the moment, you and the ‘dillo have some work to do.

  21. Dave E. says:

    Who are you trying to kid? There never was any Rice Chex.

  22. ShoreMark says:

    Were you really out of Rice Chex?

    Or was it just that you’re one of those that won’t eat the crumbs (quantity of which depends on how many stock-boys man-handled the cartons) at the bottom of the box?

  23. Pixie Pug says:

    No rice chicks for me.

    My partner is a Texan.

    TW: issue…yes,I have an issue or two……….

  24. Pixie Pug says:

    But thanks for asking

    TW:very

    much

  25. Lew Clark says:

    I know the ‘dillo won’t dance.  but I still await the Friday “dillo excuse”.  With baited breath this time.  I have it from (not so reliable) sources that the little fellow made an early appearance in Rio to get ahead of the crowds at Carnival and was mugged by hundreds of sock puppets standing in line waiting for their shot at Glenn Greenwald’s computer terminal!

  26. me says:

    Try blending toasted pop tarts with orange juice and a raw egg. I don’t know why, but just try it.

  27. McGehee says:

    I tried rice checks once. Now I just go to the ATM.

  28. Mark Wilson says:

    I believe that one day the armadillo will dance.

  29. McGehee says:

    I believe I’ll have a scotch. Oh, never mind—I already have one.

  30. Jauhara says:

    Breakfast pie with Jauhara: eggs and cream mixed nicely together into a 5 inche pot pie shell already filled with Gruyere and smoked bacon. Bake at 325 for 40 minutes. Rice chex should never be an option…unless you make muddy buddies out of them.

  31. Ric Locke says:

    Jauhara,

    Yes! Yes! –except the top should be sprinkled with chopped onion, comino (fresh leaf), and chiles (of the type that best matches one’s personal compression ratio).

    With fresh-squeezed orange juice, and followed by cafe de olla steaming hot.

    Mmmm. Pie.

    Regards,

    Ric
